CoinBundle Launches Bundled Crypto Investment Platform and Takes the Lead Towards Bringing the Next Billion People to Cryptocurrencies

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — CoinBundle launched its investment platform today that enables users to buy bundles of cryptocurrencies easily instead of single coins. Users can invest in curated bundles based on their risk profiles and investment strategies with one click for the first time. Investments will be stored securely with a qualified custodian and insured against theft by Lloyds of London, making CoinBundle the only bundled crypto investment platform to get this distinction.

The company is backed by several of the earliest investors of crypto-unicorn CoinBase, including Y Combinator, Initialized Capital and Funders Club. Switch VC and Joe Montana’s Liquid 2 are also backing the company.

Going forward, CoinBundle will focus on enabling the next billion users from emerging markets to take full advantage of investing in cryptocurrencies, participating in the New Internet (Web 3.0), and build an open eco-system for crypto ETFs. Users can invest in 3 bundles initially, developed by the in-house finance team after extensive qualitative and quantitative research: Conservative (CNS2), Aggressive (AGR10) and Emerging (EME10). Each bundle represents a unique investment strategy and philosophy for investors. The company has also developed additional thematic bundles that are in final stages of testing and will be added on the platform shortly, such as the Eco-Friendly, Halal and Asian Tigers Bundles.

More features, such as iOS and Android apps, advanced trading for experienced investors, auto-investing and limit orders will be released shortly. In addition, investors and influencers will be able to create custom bundles and publish, promote and sell them in an open marketplace to earn commissions.

CoinBundle also added a global finance leader Katherine Hensel to its Board of Advisors. Katherine previously founded and was the Managing Partner at Sage Asset Management, a hedge fund with over $1 Billion in assets. She has also served as Chief Investment Officer at several multi-billion dollar financial institutions and family offices. She joins Sir Michael Barber (former head of McKinsey and Company’s Education Practice, Chief Education Advisor at Pearson) and Michael Sinclair (Executive Director of the Harvard Ministerial Leadership Program) on the board.

CoinBundle has also partnered with several leading tokenized and decentralized projects to give users from 165 countries their first taste of Web 3.0 products through its BundleRewards platform. The team believes this is a true leapfrogging opportunity for emerging markets to adopt the decentralized internet and its associated tokens rapidly at scale.

The CoinBundle team is in conversation with national level governments and is on track to have the world’s first cryptocurrency ETF listed on a national exchange. It has already received approval for a cryptocurrency exchange license in the Philippines alongside only a handful other leading blockchain projects globally.

Saad Rizvi, CEO of CoinBundle said “CoinBundle is enabling the next billion users from emerging markets to participate in the cryptocurrency revolution and in Web 3.0. We are achieving that mission by creating the easiest on-ramp for new investors to participate in these technologies, educating them about crypto through our award-winning resources, and enabling them to earn and utilize their first tokens in return for their time through our BundleRewards platform.”

Garry Tan, Managing Partner of Initialized Capital, said “CoinBundle is building an on-ramp for people in emerging markets to invest in baskets of tokens that match their own risk profiles. They are paving a way forward for cryptocurrency infrastructure that’s accessible to the next billion users.”

“Zcoin’s listing on OVEX will create the opportunity for traders to fill the vacuum in offering privacy with the introduction of $XZC to the South African market especially with the ZAR pairing that opens door to it being readily adopted in the country. This is an exciting development and opportunity to expand in a rapidly developing country where cryptocurrency trading volumes are on the increase,” says Poramin Insom, Founder & Core Developer of Zcoin.

OVEX’s is the most advanced cryptocurrency exchange in South Africa and offers traders both simple and advanced modes to suit the needs of different traders on a secure and trusted platform.

“We’re excited about the potential for growth on this coin, privacy coins are an essential part of the crypto ecosystem and we’re very excited to give South Africans access to this opportunity,” says Jonathan Ovadia, CEO of OVEX.

As part of the official listing, Zcoin and OVEX will be hosting a community-focused event in Woodstock, Cape Town, to introduce $XZC to users on the platform. Interested attendees can find out more here.

Most recently, Zcoin became the first cryptocurrency to be usable at any of the five million merchants registered via Thailand’s nationwide QR code system through the Satang App.

Zcoin has been actively working on the Sigma privacy protocol since early 2018 and the mainnet launch of Sigma marks the first in a series of upgrades in Zcoin’s privacy protocol.

Sigma’s eventual replacement, the highly anticipated Lelantus which has garnered academic interest, is Zcoin’s own independent innovation that further improves on Sigma’s capabilities by removing the need of fixed denominations and hiding transaction values. Lelantus is currently in development and scheduled to go on testnet in early 2020.
